Enjoy instant TM suggestions with LookAhead segment retrieval

With Studio 2017 SR1 you now get immediate results from desktop and server based translation assets so there is no more waiting for searches. As you work in one segment, Studio 2017 will ‘LookAhead’ to the next segment and prepare the results from your Translation Memory (TM) or Machine Translation (MT) so it is immediately shown as you move into that segment.

Even more leverage from your TMs with advancements to upLIFT

SR1 brings with it a host of new technology to deliver the next phase of upLIFT TM technology. Most notably:

upLIFT will now work when you choose a TM that does not match the language pair of you project (AnyTM technology).

Analysis reports now show how many fuzzy match words were fixed within each match band which could help to save costs.

The ability to use either the repaired or the non-repaired fuzzy matches when working with Fuzzy Match Repair.

Asian languages productivity boosters

Enjoy significantly more leverage from your TM as upLIFT Fragment Recall and upLIFT Fuzzy Repair are now available for Japanese and Chinese. Providing matches at a fragment level and automatic fixes to fuzzy matches, upLIFT maximizes your translation assets for considerable productivity gains.
